That being said, it is also necessary for investors to keep in mind that there was no news regarding the company on Friday that might have led to such a rally. That said, back on June 17 Labrador Gold had announced that it was in the process of expanding its drill program to 50000 metres from 20000 metres.
In addition to that, the company also stated that the number of drill rigs is also going to be boosted to four. Both these announcements are significant and might have been a factor behind the rally in the stock on Friday.
The company made the decision to expand is drill program after having completed a review of a range of targets in quartz vein corridor that stretches 7.5 kilometres. At this point, Labrador Gold boasts of working capital to the tune of $36 million and hence, it has the financial wherewithal to embark on this expansion.
